I sell a few things and have a account set up for the proceeds, and use that to fund the cash requirements of charity quilting. Additionaly I have a seperate stash of scraps and fabric donations that I use. Once you let people know you do charity quilts the fabric donations start to find their way to you.
As for the time aspect ... thats tough to define... I probably do about 1/10 of my total sewing quilting time to charity quilts. I don't specifically set a certain time or amount of time per day, its more of a time available. Often after finishing a large project I need to" brain purge " and work on something completey different so thats when I will make a charity quilt.
When I donate them , I very specifically tell the agency to use them to best suit their purposes. Several have been used as a raffle item, as the agency needed more cash for such essentials as food , and had sufficent quilts/blankets.
